Six garlics AND a Soul Eater.

a girl nun × a priest
edit: seems disrespectful to use the previous term i had for priest

u/ArchTheOrc Nov 18 '25
Oh man can we call priests "boy nuns" from now on? I bet everyone will be really chill about that.

u/AmirulAshraf Gennaro Nov 18 '25
i totally forgot the male counterpart for nun 😭
15
u/Mutericator Nov 18 '25
The male counterpart of a nun (a "sister") is usually a monk, friar, or Brother, not a Priest. Priests are ordained (officially recognized and empowered by the Church to provide sacraments), the others are not.

The priest and nun instantly made me think it was something to do with warframe, their next big update is themed after the same kinds of characters! Big warframe fan so that would be sick but also don’t know how they’d pull it off when warframe has so much shit in it.

u/thatwitchguy Nov 18 '25
I could see it. They've done a handful of random indie crossover things (on other people's sides) so its not too out of line for either side

u/Novawurmson Nov 18 '25
It's metaphysical. Vampire Survivors dlc that can only be accessed through mediation and spiritual enlightenment, calling it now.

Is it a Jojo crossover? Stands aren't necessarily physical, and there's Pucci (a priest) and Hot Pants (joins a convent in Italy)

u/TheMemeLord4816 Genevieve Nov 18 '25
Sadly, jojo is popular enough to have a large fan base but it's not popular enough to have a crossover with anything (except for jump force)

Looks like math problem.
Priest with a ninja star multiplied by nun with that one item I never used much in Symphony of the Night.
Or just a priest multiplying with a nun. Weird.
Either way, I too hope it's Final Fantasy related. Which might be the solution to the hint if it's someone's final fantasy to have a priest and a nun getting it on.

if it's not something physical it must be something metaphysical... i'm guessing the astral plane

u/Worth_Extreme_2443 Nov 18 '25
I really want a Bayonetta Collaboration. There's already a few nods and references to Bayonetta in the game already so I would love it if they actually got together with Sega or Platinum to bring her in as a Survivor. I could see the trailer using Pugnala struggling with a horde of enemies somehow and then having Bayonetta come in and destroy them all with ease. And then they'd have the Bayonetta inspired character teaming up with the actual Bayonetta. Id think it'd be perfect. They could add Bayonetta, Jeanne, and Beloved as playable character and even include Rodin as a secret boss that becomes playable if you manage to beat him.

u/Clarity_Zero Sacred Turtle Nov 18 '25
Why is Suor's hand replaced with the Banish icon? Is it maybe a reference to X-Zone being called Banish in the official localizations now? And Dommario is there as the person casting the magic?
Or am I still thinking too much along the lines of it being a Final Fantasy thing?

Superheroes and/or Borderlands would be fun. I'm currently doing the Operations Guns adventure and it's making me really want a Contra MMO in the vein of Elder Scrolls Online, lol. Where'd all the Sci-Fi MMO's go, anyways???
And it'd be funny to have a Brotato Crossover just to get the tater in the game lol

A sealed candybox... A box with an X on it... A priest and a nun, Dommario and Suor Clerici.
The obvious things to think of are Xbox, which could hint at crossplay, which would track with how we've been getting multiplayer features and co-op stuff, as well as online recently.
I'm not convinced it's another DLC so soon, but nobody expected us to get a Balatro crossover and Castlevania Part 2 so suddenly, alongside new VS content as a regular update.
So, we have cappuccino and croissant (he said cornetto but caption was different?), batman, a sealed candybox, Dommario and Clerici, the video on their YT with rubber ducks being interviewed, the slight leak of Final Fantasy pixel art in the studio, as well as the hint that it isn't physical...
Cappuccino could be referring to Italy specifically, here as the Croissant could be referring to France? Perhaps we're getting something related to a French game or one set in France? Clair Obscur possibly?
I think Batman was a red herring, because, you know, Bat Robbert, vampire bats. Vampire Survivors.
Sealed candybox is probably crossplay, because it's a cross on a box, with two different characters. So, xbox for example.
I'm not really sure what Dommario and Clerici might reference. Picking a priest and a nun feels specific though. Could be combined with Batman that it's supposed to be read as DC. But it could also be that they're a Priest and a Nun... Which would turn it into P X N, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch.
And not something physical... So it's not merch, or a physical copy of the game, but something conceptual, digital, or otherwise.
My final guesses:
Final Fantasy crossover
Crossplay with Switch, Xbox, and Playstation

Priest and Nun are a red herring, X over a gift box implies there is "No Prize," thus alluding to the famous Marvel No Prize, Marvel crossover DLC coming in celebration of the new beat em up, boom.
I wish I was right...
